The412Banner 277dcd174c Steam updates: rewrite read-only content files the way root could ...

The client runs as proot's root, which the kernel does not see, and
leaves many content files read-only; an update that rewrites one was
refused (EACCES) and cancelled with "Missing file permissions"
(Proton Experimental (ARM64), wineopenxr.dll). For the client's own
processes, a refused write-open of a file the app owns now gets the
owner's write bit - on the file, or on the directory a new file goes
into - and one more try. Games and Wine keep ordinary permissions.
